BOO HOO
Yes I know I sound like a scratched record, but!
Just a few pics......
No pun intended, I hope. Shame that they cannot get the few quid from Teignbridge council, seeing as they have been splashing millions of pounds about over the last year for things such as the shopping centre at Newton Abbot etc
In my opinion, the railway collapse at Dawlish was purely down to the railway companies lack of maintenance to the sea wall. You only have to walk along the beach from Dawlish to the Warren to see large, deep cracks and base sections of concrete that have worn away along the sea wall below the railway line. British rail was not purchased by private companies to make a better and more reliable ...
Yes, the weather would seem to be to blame for the erosion, hopefully the Dawlish councillors can spend a little money on refurbishing the War Memorial. They don't seem to have any problems spending thousands on less worthy causes.
Happen to see the unloading of a catch of fish on Sunday from the new Jetty in Teignmouth.
@Lynne - maybe they could make more money replacing them as the french style urinals, just a thought.
The trains find it difficult enough to move when they get a little splash of water on them. How much worse a battering they will get half way down the beach. Sounds like a load of hot air as usual.
Brook still backed up due to the blockage at the entrance to the sea for the last few weeks! as of last night. http://dawlish.com/thread/details/45158
Still bunged up to within a foot fo the walkway yesterday evening. Normally has a good 3 to 4 feet clearance.
